Filter by:Randomized, controlled, double-blind, single-center clinical trial with two parallel arms depending on the product consumed (experimental product and placebo product) to analyze the efficacy of a botanical extract in reducing anxiety and improving sleep quality.
Randomized, controlled, double-blind intervention study, with four parallel branches depending on the product consumed, to analyze the efficacy of different types of milks on the improvement of sleep quality.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the improvement of sleep quality of probiotic BLa 80 in 110 healthy college students. The main question it aims to answer is whether probiotic BLa80 can effectively improve the sleep quality of college students. The experiment commenced with participants continuously consuming the recommended amount of the probiotic powder for approximately 8 weeks. Simultaneously, they were required to fill out an "Effect Evaluation Form" every week and submit it to relevant department. At the end of the first and eighth weeks, participants underwent tests for five liver functions, four lipid profiles, blood sugar, and uric acid levels, as well as stool sample collection. They then completed the "Mid-Term Effect Evaluation Form".
Health CASCADE (Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement n° 956501) aims to address complex public health problems by making co-creation a scientifically sound methodology, aided by evidence-based methods, practices, and technologies. The current study, which focuses on co-creation in the school context is part of this overarching European project. Healthy sleep is important for adolescents' mental and physical health and cognitive functioning. However, sleep difficulties are among the top three health complaints in European adolescents. This indicates a need for successful interventions. Co-creation is a promising approach to design tailored interventions. By actively involving all relevant stakeholders, co-creation has been shown to increase self-efficacy, self-consciousness, empowerment, and feelings of ownership. However, co-created interventions are localized and therefore less generalizable to a broader population. Moreover, the process is very time- and cost- consuming. To make co-creation more feasible, research should focus on the upscaling of existing interventions. The investigators propose that the co-creation process is still absolutely vital for intervention success but that it can be shortened. The investigators aim to scale up an existing intervention to promote healthy sleep. This existing intervention was developed using co-creation together with the target group (adolescents aged 13 to 15) and parents, and implemented with support of teachers and fellow students. To investigate whether the shorter co-creation process is needed in order to scale up the intervention to another setting and context, the investigators will use a three-arm cluster controlled trial. This will include one co-creation intervention school, one standard implementation school (this school receives the existing intervention without a shortened co-creation process), and one control school. The co-creation process will be structured by using the Intervention Mapping Protocol to ensure an evidence-based framework. The effect of the intervention will be evaluated using actigraphy and questionnaires, while the process will be evaluated using questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups.
Sleep disorders are highly prevalent all around the world and have a strong negative impact on quality of life (QoL). In Colombia, up to 60% of adults report any sleep disturbance and more than 45% have required medical assistance for this. There is abundant anecdotal and scientific evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of several plant extracts on sleep quality. In this context, the development of safe and effective natural products may have a positive impact on sleep and general QoL.
The aim of the study is to determine whether a night-time tea can improve subjective sleep quality in healthy sleepers and self-reported poor sleepers, compared to a control drink.
With the long-range goal to identify an efficacious and practical intervention to improve sleep for individuals with MCI, this pilot study will enroll 20 individuals with MCI into either a self-administered hypnosis for sleep program or a sham white noise hypnosis program. Participants will practice hypnosis delivered via audio recording once per day in their own home for 7 weeks. Upon completion of the study, insight will be gained regarding accrual, retention, and feasibility of the intervention and measures. Data from this pilot study is essential to inform and plan a future R01 proposal to determine the efficacy of the self-administered hypnosis intervention to improve sleep quality and duration, as well as other benefits, with individuals with mild cognitive impairment.
The long-range goal is to identify an efficacious and practical intervention to improve sleep quality and duration for family caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The main goal of this study is to determine feasibility of a self-administered hypnosis intervention with caregivers of individuals with ADRD by randomizing eligible participants into one of two study arms, self-administered hypnosis (treatment group) or sham white noise hypnosis (control group). The investigators are also examining the feasibility of accrual, outcome measures (diaries, actigraphy) and study design.
The purpose of this study is to slow down the aging of the participant's brain by improving sleep quality.
The overall goal of this project is to evaluate the effect of enhanced psychological well-being on sleep quality. This study will demonstrate whether combining an intervention designed to promote psychological well-being with sleep hygiene education improves sleep quality in a non-clinical population of distressed adults reporting poor sleep in the absence of a diagnosed sleep disorder. The investigators expect an intervention combining elements of psychological well-being and sleep hygiene education to result in significant improvements in sleep quality measures from baseline to post-intervention, and greater improvements in sleep quality measures at post-intervention as compared with sleep hygiene education alone.
